My very old Linux manuals and textbooks
by calcat from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57X50)
Sorry if this has been addressed - I did search before posting.
I have so many very old manuals and textbooks, from about 20 years ago, that I used exhaustively back when I was first using Linux (I've forgotten most of what I learned ;> ).
I haven't dipped into them recently, and having forgotten most of what I learned, wouldn't know how useful they might be now.
Is it worthwhile to refer to them when I have questions about Linux, or has the architecture and use of Linux changed to a great extent?
It might be a case of them being useful when I do know enough about Linux, again, to be able to know what isn't useful LOL
Maybe this is a question that is likely to elicit opinion (but worthy opinion ;> ).
Thanks,
